Joao Felix has just given his answer to Al-Nassr as Saudi Arabian club make their move

Benfica and Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr are both interested in signing Chelsea forward Joao Felix. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano initially reported Benfica's strong efforts to bring Felix back to his former club, with Portuguese reports suggesting they even saved the No.10 shirt for him.

However, Romano later provided an update revealing that Felix has accepted Al-Nassr's transfer proposal, dealing a blow to Benfica's hopes. This potential move would see Felix link up with his Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr; Ronaldo had reportedly spoken to Felix about the Saudi Pro League earlier in the year.

The move to Al-Nassr is also considered positive news for Chelsea. The club had resisted Benfica's advances, holding out for a club willing to meet their asking price. Al-Nassr is reportedly prepared to pay over £40 million for Felix, which could allow Chelsea to make a profit. Chelsea had already received £5 million from AC Milan for his loan spell last January. Given Felix's lack of success at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea's desire to sell, this potential deal is viewed as excellent business for the club.
